Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and further relates to heterogeneous protocol conversion middleware and a method for a heterogeneous controller cluster in the technical field of network communication. In the invention, a centralized heterogeneous protocol conversion middleware is constructed under the environment of a Software Defined Network (SDN) (software defined network) so as to realize the cooperative work among heterogeneous controllers supporting a vertical architecture to form a heterogeneous controller cluster.
Background
The controller is responsible for centralized control of the whole SDN, plays a very important role in mastering resources of the whole SDN and improving delivery quality of the network resources, is the core of the whole SDN architecture, and once the controller cannot provide effective guarantee on performance or safety, the service capability of the whole SDN is degraded even the whole SDN is paralyzed. With the continuous expansion of the scale of the SDN network, the load of a single controller is also continuously increased, and a problem of single point failure exists. Therefore, a cluster is formed by a plurality of controllers, and problems in reliability, expansibility, performance and the like caused by a single controller node are avoided. Currently, clustering technology can be used to solve the above-mentioned problems, but the east-west interface standard for clustering among different kinds of controllers has not been defined yet, so there are more difficulties in clustering among heterogeneous controllers.
When constructing an SDN controller cluster, there are three problems to be solved: the first is abstract unification of northbound interfaces, and the key of a cluster formed by controllers is that a plurality of controllers work cooperatively, the plurality of controllers provide unified services to the outside, and transparent operation is realized for users, that is, in the controller cluster, the users do not need to care which controller service interface is called currently, and the northbound interfaces are used as the most main service interfaces provided by the SDN controllers to the outside and need to realize abstract unification on the cluster; secondly, forwarding the flow of the data plane, wherein the main equipment of the data plane under the SDN network architecture is a switch, different controllers control part of switches on the data plane under the control of a controller cluster, in order to realize the flow forwarding of the data plane, the controllers forming the cluster need to share the topology information of the whole data plane, and the flow of the data plane is forwarded by issuing a flow table; the third problem is the reliability problem of the controller cluster, that is, once a controller fails, a new controller needs to be selected from the controller cluster to control the switch controlled by the failed controller. The invention realizes the heterogeneous controller cluster on the basis of solving the three problems.
The patent application document "a communication method and system between heterogeneous controllers" (patent application No. 201611129381.9, publication No. 106549873a) of the beijing post and telecommunications university provides a method for forming a cluster between heterogeneous controllers in an SDN. The method comprises the specific steps of receiving a first link layer discovery protocol message sent by an intra-domain switch of a first domain controller; determining a second link layer discovery protocol message according to the first link layer discovery protocol message; packaging the second link layer discovery protocol message to obtain a southbound protocol bearing message; sending a southbound protocol bearer message to a super controller, and acquiring inter-domain link information by the super controller; acquiring intra-domain network information of each domain controller; encapsulating the intra-domain network information to obtain a first message; and sending the first message to a super controller, wherein the super controller acquires intra-domain network information of each domain controller, and performs communication between heterogeneous controllers according to the inter-domain link information and the intra-domain network information. The method realizes the flow forwarding of the data plane, thereby realizing the cluster formation among heterogeneous controllers. However, the method still has the following defects: the abstraction unification of the northbound interfaces of the heterogeneous controllers is not realized, and the transparent operation of the controller cluster on users cannot be realized.
Zhengzhou yunhai information technology limited provides a method for cooperative work among SDN heterogeneous controllers to form a cluster in a patent document "an SDN heterogeneous multi-controller cooperative method and system" (patent application No. 201711140596.5, publication No. 107819774a) applied by zhengzhou yunhai information technology limited. The method provides a controller communication protocol according to the OpenFlow protocol and the communication characteristics of the controllers, develops related applications on different controllers based on a programming interface opened by the controllers to realize the provided controller communication protocol, and solves the problems of expansion and cooperation among heterogeneous controllers; the method and the system do not need user participation, realize the expansion between heterogeneous controllers and the seamless interconnection of homogeneous controllers through the east-west direction expansion mechanism of the controllers, have universality, and effectively improve the computing power and the network operation stability of the controllers. However, the method still has the following defects: customized development is required on each heterogeneous controller, however, the programming interfaces opened by different controllers are different, so the heterogeneous controller cluster scheme has no expansibility.
Pingping Lin et al, in its published paper, "WE-bridge: West-east bridge for SDNinter-domain network engineering" (IEEE Conference on Computer communications works, 2014), propose a method of interaction of routing information and network topology information between heterogeneous controllers. The method comprises the steps that all SDN controllers are regarded as peer-to-peer entities and are connected through West-East Bridge designed in the paper, then basic routing information and network topology information are exchanged among the controllers through West-East Bridge and data of a uniform JSON structure, a global network topology view is built, then network applications on different controllers convert the routing information and the network topology information into flow tables and send the flow tables to a switch of a data plane, and therefore the cooperative work among heterogeneous controllers is achieved to form a cluster. However, the method still has the following defects: when a controller fails, the cluster has a reliability problem, and after a controller fails, the data forwarding process of the switch managed by the controller is affected.
